All streets included in the resurfacing project are consistent with the City's Pavement Management Program. 6-1 ANALYSIS Construction Contract The project was advertised and sealed bids were received and opened on July 28, 2010.Sully-Miller Contracting Company submitted the lowest responsive bid out of the five bids received.The following table summarizes the bids received: BID SUMMARY Construction Companies Bid Amount Sully-Miller ContractinQ Company $1,218,105.31 International SurfacinQ System $1,352,500.00 Pavement CoatinQs Company $1,487,281.00 Copp Contracting,Inc.$1,623,942.50 Minco Construction $2,440,650.00 Staff has verified Sully-Miller's,references and found their past performance on jobs of similar size and scope to be satisfactory.Sully-Miller's bid documents,bonds,and DBE documents are in order and their contractor's license is current.

FISCAL IMPACT The recommended action will result in a total project expenditure of $1 ,339,915.84. Funding for the project is included in the Residential Pavement Program of the FY 10- 11 Budget.

EEO OFFICER: The contractor will designate and make known to the awarding agency an EEO Officer who will have the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively administering and promoting an active contractor program of EEO and who must be assigned adequate authority and responsibility to do so. DISSEMINATION OF POLICY: All members of the contractor's staff who are authorized to hire,supervise,promote,and discharge employees,or who recommend such action,or who are substantially involved in such action,will be made fully cognizant of, and will implement,the contractor's EEO policy and contractual responsibilities to provide EEO in each grade and classification of employment.To ensure that the above agreement will be met,the following actions will be taken as a minimum: Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be conducted before the start of work and then not less often than once every six months,at which time the contractor's EEO policy and its implementation will be reviewed and explained.The meetings will be conducted by the EEO officer. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a thorough indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering all major aspects of the contractor's EEO obligations within thirty days following their reporting for duty with the contractor. All personnel who are engaged in direct recruitment for the project will be instructed by the EEO Officer in the contractor's procedures for locating and hiring minority employees. Notices and posters identifying the contractor's EEO policy will be placed in areas readily accessible to employees,applicants for employment and potential employees. The contractor's EEO policy and the procedures to implement such policy will be brought to the attention of employees by means of meetings,employee handbooks, or other appropriate means. RECRUITMENT OF EMPLOYEES: When advertising for employees,the contractor will include in all advertisements for employees the notation: "An Equal Opportunity Employer."All such advertisements will be placed in publications having a large circulation among minority groups in the area from which the project work force would normally be derived. The contractor will,unless precluded by a valid bargaining agreement,conduct systematic and direct recruitment through public and private employee referral sources likely to yield qualified minority group applicants. To meet this requirement,the contractor will identify sources of potential minority group employees,and establish with such identified sources procedures whereby minority group applicants may be referred to the contractor for employment consideration. In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining agreement providing for exclusive hall referrals,he is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the extent that the system permits the contractor's compliance with EEO contract provisions.(The DOL has held that where implementations of such agreements have the effect of discriminating against minorities or women,or obligates the contractor to do the same,such implementation violates Executive Order 11246,as amended.) 6-33 The contractor will encourage his present employees to refer minority group applicants for employment. Information and procedures with regard to referring minority group applicants will be discussed with employees. SELECTION OF SUBCONTRACTORS, PROCUREMENT OF MATERIALS AND LEASING OF EQUIPMENT: The contractor shall not discriminate on the grounds of race,color,religion,sex,national origin,age or disability in the selection and retention of subcontractors,including procurement of materials and leases of equipment. The contractor shall notify all potential subcontractors and suppliers of his/her EEO obligations under this contract. Disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE)as defined in 49 CFR 23,shall have equal opportunity to compete for and perform subcontracts which the contractor enters into pursuant to this contract.The contractor will use his best efforts to solicit bids from and to utilize DBE subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority group and female representation among their employees. The contractor will use his best efforts to ensure subcontractor compliance with their EEO obligations. EEO RECORDS AND REPORTS: The contractor shall keep such records as necessary to document compliance with the EEO requirements.Such records shall be retained for a period of three years following completion of the contract work and shall be available at reasonable times and places for inspection by authorized representatives.The records kept by the contractor shall document the following: The number of minority and non-minority group members and women employed in each work classification on the project; The progress and efforts being made in cooperation with unions,when applicable,to increase employment opportunities for minorities and women; The progress and efforts being made in locating,hiring, training,qualifying,and upgrading minority and female employees;and The progress and efforts being made in securing the services of DBE subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority and female representation among their employees. NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES: Applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts of $1 0,000 or more. By the execution of this contract or subcontract,or the consummation of this material supply agreement or purchase order,all parties certify that the firm does not maintain or provide for its employees any segregated facilities at any of its establishments,and that the firm does not permit its employees to perform their services at any location under its control,where segregated facilities are maintained.The contractor agrees that a breach of this certification is a violation of the EEO provisions of this contract.The contractor further certifies that no employee will be denied access to adequate facilities on the basis of sex or disability. As used in this certification,the term "segregated facilities"refers to facilities provided for employees which are segregated by explicit directive,or on the basis of race,color,religion,national origin,age or disability, because of habit,local custom,or otherwise.The only exception will be for the disabled when the demands for accessibility override,(e.g.disabled parking). The contractor agrees that it has obtained or will obtain identical certification from proposed subcontractors or material suppliers prior to award of subcontracts or consummation of material supply agreements of $1 0,000 or more and that it will retain such certifications in its files. FALSIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS: The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor to civil or criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C.1001 and 31 U.S.C.231. The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required available for inspection, copying,or transcription by authorized representatives of the awarding agency or the DOL,and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job.If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available,the awarding agency,HUD or DOL,or all may,after written notice to the contractor,sponsor,applicant,or owner,take such actions as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment,advance,or guarantee of funds. Furthermore,failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds of debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12. 6-34
